Re: What UW track "gets to you"?
I picked up Beaucoup Fish in LA the day it came out and then drove across the USA listening to it. I love cups and a result and it always reminds me of that trip when I hear it.

The Rez version from Reading 96 also gets me because it was the first night after our nipper was born that me and the missus got out to a gig.

At the moment I'm barely able to stop listening to I'm a Big Sister - those opening chords and timestretched voice sound wonderful.

I love the way Rick plays with chords - from Cups to King Of Snake, Biro The Leggy, the chorus of Like a Swimmer, Jumbo, Twist, Deep Arch, Small conker and a Twix, Rod Stewart and the Architecture For The Blind Mix from Lemonworld 15/12/05 all make the hairs stand up for me....

Re: What UW track "gets to you"?
just about every uw song affects me one way or the other. amdist karls unique way of expressing himself, there's always something to either smile, laugh, scream, jump, and even cry over.

of any uw song that hits me the deepest everytime, i would have to choose sola sistim:
my favourite line -
"my insecurities, my devious nature, make it go away"
"beautiful, broken, my crystal fingers, beautiful, broken, my crystal fingers"


another is dirty epic:
"and i feel so shaken in my faith"
"and the light it blinds my eyes"
"well i got phone sex to see me through the emptiness in my 501's"

... how could one not have bittersweet feelings while listening to this track... i think I'm going to listen to it now after I listen to pray and sola sistim.

also pray:

"pray for me... as you do for peace... in a world of aggression..."
"millions cry around the world, but I cry in your back garden"
"please pray for me and i'll pray for yoouuuuuu, well it's not revolutioooon, but it's something, something we can dooooooooo.... pray, aaaaaallllllll daaaaaaaayyyyyy"

great stuff. there's quite a few songs that get to me too:
skym
please help me
born slippy .NUXX (if played at the right moment)
most o'spitable
to dream of love
simple distinctive (floating world)
two months off (it gets me behind the ears)
deep arch
puppies... and the list could go on forever...

Yes, it could... I forgot Stagger. I think it makes me sad becuase it's the end of the album, but it's pretty dark with a nice groove.
And that's a good combo.
